This study tried to find objective evidences for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects reverted to normal cognitive status during the follow-up visits in ADNI cohort. Bilateral hippocampal volumes, atrophy rate of bilateral temporal lobe, concentration of T-tau and A1-42 in cerebrospinal fluid and MMSE scores were selected as biomarkers. The changes of all biomarkers except MMSE scores during the reversion in 12 month were statistically insignificant. Longer follow-up with greater sample size can better characterize the dynamic of MCI reversion, which can provide vital information for possible treatment and disease management.
